Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a comparative-cultural perspective, this collection of essays examines the co-constructivist nature of human development in culturally organized environments. The contributions also cover a large age span--infancy to adulthood. Chapters in part 1 cover two different directions in the study of early adult-infant interaction from a comparative cultural perspective. Chapters in part 2 are devoted to child socialization in the cultural-ecological contexts of Southern Italy and India. Chapters in part 3 examine the co-construction of self in adolescence. Chapters in part 4 provide a cross-cultural analysis of the meaning of intelligence or "intellectual competence." Following an introduction to the comparative-cultural perspective (Valsiner), the chapter titles are: (1) "The Study of Early Interaction in a Contextual Perspective: Culture, Communication, and Eye Contact" (Scholmerich and others); (2) "Transformation and Construction in Social Interaction: A New Perspective on Analysis of the Mother-Infant Dyad" (Lyra and Rossetti-Ferreira); (3) "'Amoral Familism' and Child Development: Edward Banfield and the Understanding of Child Socialization in Southern Italy" (Benigni and Valsiner); (4) "Childrearing Practices Relevant for the Growth of Dependency and Competence in Children" (Sinha); (5) "Transformation of Women's Social Roles in India" (Verma); (6) "A Co-Constructivist Perspective of Life-Course Changes among Havik Brahmins in a South India Village (Ullrich); (7) "Culture and Self-Concept among Adolescents with Bicultural Parentage: A Social Constructionist Approach" (Minoura); (8) "Persons' Conception of Human Nature: A Cross-Cultural Comparison" (Oerter); (9) "The Meaning of Intellectual Competence: Views from a 'Favela'" (Oliveira); and (10) "Cultural and Environmental Influences in the Acquisition of Concepts of Intellectual Competence" (Keats). An epilogue, "Comparative-Cultural Co-Constructionism and its Discontents (Valsiner) examines some of the difficulties inherent in the comparative-cultural co-constructionist perspective. Each section begins with an editorial introduction, and each chapter includes references. (HTH)

Download or read book Children s Development Within Social Context written by Lucien T. Winegar and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These companion volumes bring together research and theoretical work that addresses the relations between social context and the development of children. They allow for the in-depth discussion of a number of vital metatheoretical, theoretical, and methodological issues that have emerged as a result of increased investigation in these areas. For example: Which methodological and statistical procedures are appropriate and applicable to studies of social context and processes of development? Should the nature of social context be reconceptualized as something more than different levels of some social independent variable? Are theories of development that do not consider social context incomplete? Will the increasingly finer definitions of social context lead to extreme situationism and contextualism? As developmental theory and investigation continues to address relationships between social and cognitive development, it becomes increasingly important that issues concerning social context be elaborated and discussed.

Download or read book Sociogenesis Reexamined written by Willibrord De Graaf and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociogenesis Reexamined offers the foundation for an inter- disciplinary social scientific approach towards the development of persons in their historical and societal contexts. The editors have organized herein the opportunity for exchange and theoretical confrontation on the theme of mechanisms in sociogenesis. Stemming from a workshop that took place at the Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht in December 1990, the editors and contributors attempt to begin the refinement and reworking of the concept of sociogenesis. Two possible branches in the definition of sociogenesis are presented in the introduction as a useful guide in mapping existing approaches. The text is then divided into four parts: theoretical and historical foundations; new conceptual approaches; analysis of existing frameworks; empirical case studies. Systematic perspectives for research in the field are offered. For developmental and social psychologists, anthropologists, researchers and graduate students, this groundbreaking work will surely initiate much elaboration and innovation in the study of sociogenesis.

Download or read book Cognitive Ecology written by Morton P. Friedman and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-02-05 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive Ecology identifies the richness of input to our sensory evaluations, from our cultural heritage and philosophies of aesthetics to perceptual cognition and judgment. Integrating the arts, humanities, and sciences, Cognitive Ecology investigates the relationship of perception and cognition to wider issues of how science is conducted, and how the questions we ask about perception influence the answers we find. Part One discusses how issues of the human mind are inseparable from the culture from which the investigations arise, how mind and environment co-define experience and actions, and how culture otherwise influences cognitive function. Part Two outlines how philosophical themes of aesthetics have guided psychological research, and discuss the physical and aesthetic perception of music, film, and art. Part Three presents an overview of how the senses interact for sensory evaluation.

Download or read book Cultures of Infancy written by Heidi Keller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-26 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Classic Edition of Heidi Keller’s Cultures of Infancy, first published in 2007, includes a new introduction by the author, which describes for readers the original context of her work, how she has further developed her research and thinking, and the ongoing relevance of this volume in the context of future challenges for the field. In its original volume, Cultures of Infancy presented the first systematic analysis of culturally informed developmental pathways, synthesizing evolutionary and cultural psychological perspectives for a broader understanding of human development. In this compelling book, Heidi Keller utilizes ethnographic reports, as well as quantitative and qualitative analyses, to illustrate how humans resolve universal developmental tasks in particular sociodemographic contexts. These contexts are represented in cultural models, with three distinct models addressed throughout the text: the model of independence with autonomy as developmental organizer; the model of interdependence with relatedness as the developmental organizer; and the model of autonomous relatedness representing particular mixtures of autonomy and relatedness. The book offers an empirical examination of the first integrative developmental task during the early months of life—relationship formation. Keller shows that early parenting experiences shape the basic foundation of the self within particular models of parenting that are influenced by culturally informed socialization goals. With distinct patterns of results that the studies have revealed, Cultures of Infancy helps redefine developmental psychology as part of a culturally informed science based on evolutionary groundwork. Scholars interested in a broad perspective on human development and culture will benefit from this pioneering volume.
